No Experience Points - No Leveling

CyberBlood is all about the here and now. Much like the ultra-maximalist setting, the system doesn’t force the player to wait for things on the horizon.

Players will never be counting experience points until they unlock their next damage buff or heroic feat.

Because there are no levels, the strength of characters is only limited by their access to equipment and their base attribute scores. A CyberBlood character can easily slot into an ongoing game without disrupting the GM’s flow or the difficulty of combat encounters.

In CyberBlood, strategy and teamwork are far more important than endless second chances and unlockable abilities.

Combat Matters

Combat in Cyberblood uses strict, but simple, rules that govern a wide-variety of situations and use-cases. Following this core principle. Combat is Simple, Brutal, and Chaotic.
